Ingredients

  • 1 bag (16 oz) Cascadian Farm™ organic frozen crinkle-cut French fries
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (2 medium)
  • 2 tablespoons cooked real bacon bits

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Toss frozen French fries with melted butter.
  • Step 
    2
    Tear off 2 (12-inch) lengths of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil to make foil boats. Place half of the fries in a single layer in the center of 1 piece of foil. Loosely fold foil around edges to form a boat, leaving large hole at top to allow steam to escape; repeat with remaining fries and foil.
  • Step 
    3
    Place foil packets on grill over indirect heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once, until fries are crispy and cooked through. Top each packet with 2 slices cheese; cook about 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and bacon bits just before serving.
